Evan looked at Maura with a sharp look, waiting for the answer Maura would give him.
Do I still have a heart for him?
"Maura, answer!" firmly Evan.
"Nothing, my heart for her is dead with what she's been doing all this time to me" Maura replied with a bitter smile.
Evan did not ask anymore, Maura's face had also shown everything. Where might such pain not be able to make Maura kill the love for Bara. But on the other hand Evan knew that Maura could not forget the memories of 4 years.
Perhaps the taste in his heart had been wiped out, but the memories must have remained.
"Come brother, we go to work yuk! It's too late, let's start a new day." Maura smiled, taking her cousin to work together.
Evan's hand rubbed Maura's long hair tied to that one, he looked at Maura affectionately. They also walked downstairs, how surprised they were to see Alya cleaning things with a helmet, even the woman was wearing a uniform like Bi Iyam and Bi Inah.
"Good morning Maura," Alya greeted Maura kindly.
Maura was stunned for a moment, when she saw Alya. Then he asked her, "Why do you wear clothes like this?"
"Mother just wants to make up for all the mistakes mom made as much as you son, mom will be the maid in this house as you used to be the maid," Alya lowered her head in front of Maura.
Maura fell silent and clenched her hands furiously.
"Oh, is that it?" Evan smiled cynically, he knew his sister would not be able to be cruel. "Bi Inah! Here!" Shouted Evan calling Bi Inah.
I don't know what Evan would do by calling Bi Inah. After bi Inah arrived in front of Evan, the man immediately asked bi Inah to bring dirty clothes in front of him. Bi Inah just obeyed what Evan ordered, though she didn't know why Evan ordered it that way.
A few seconds later, Bi Inah came carrying the dirty clothes in the basket. "This is Mr. Evan,"
Evan took the basket filled with dirty clothes, he then threw it on Alya's face. "Clean, clean wash, dry and iron!" Said Evan straightforwardly.
The pile of dirty clothes was now scattered on the floor after the clothes were thrown into Alya's face. "Okay, I'll do it." Alya said with a bitter smile.
Yes, it's worth it. I have done wrong to my own daughter-in-law. Educating my son the wrong way.
Alya understands his own mistakes and he is sincerely treated harshly by Evan, as penance.
Moments later Maura feels sorry for Alya, remembering that she was once done worse than that by Bara and her family. Maura was indifferent and just left from there, her Evan caught up with her.
Bi Inah also did not help him because Alya was so evil to Maura, "Hurry to do master Evan's orders, if you do not want your hands exposed to hot irons!"
Inah's words reminded Alya of sin when she once dropped an iron on Maura's hand. Even the iron marks were still on Maura's palm and did not disappear.
"Yes, aunty can also tell me to do anything. I'm ready to help, don't hesitate..." Alya was being polite to Inah.
"All right,"
Bi Inah returned to the kitchen to carry out her duties. Meanwhile, Ghea who had just woken up and was about to leave, was surprised to see her mother was cleaning up on the floor. "Mother, what else is she doing?"
"You don't see what mom is anymore?" Alya asked her daughter back.
"Maura and her sister must have done this, right?" Ghea riled.
"Ghea, we need to be self-aware! What we did to Maura was more than this." Alya tidied up all those clothes and put them back in the basket.
"Mother.don't do this Ma'am,"
"Ghea, you yourself said that we should persuade Maura and her family. Why did you forbid mom to do this? You better help me than you shut up!"
"I'm sorry I didn't want to help, but today is the day of my graduation exam announcement."
"Haihhh.yeah, go Ghea may your business succeed. Don't go home at night, as soon as the results come out, go straight home son!" Alya reminded her son.
"Mother just relax! I'll go straight home after my business is done and help that persuade Maura." Ghea smiled at her mother and promised to help her.
"Call him brother!" Alya used Ghea's words to call Maura impolitely.
Ghea belittled Alya's words. "Well, the people are not horrified."
"Also you should be courteous to an older person, Ghea!" Alya said firmly.
"Okay ma'am, Ghea left first." Ghea kissed her mother's hand, saying goodbye to go to college.
"Be careful,"
"Assalamualaikum Ma'am,"
"Guilipinam,"
Alya sees her daughter's departure from the house, hoping that her two children can live a quiet life after her penance on Maura.

Xander's office, looks like Bryan's sitting at his desk. From this moment after the meeting, Bryan just kept silent while looking out the window.
What is Maura doing? If I call him, will he pick up my phone? Oh, my God, I'm so embarrassed to see her, I didn't dare to talk to her. Is he mad at me?
Ferry called the man, but Bryan looked at the window. "Is there anything there, until Mr. Bryan sees it that way?" muttered Ferry who followed Bryan looking out the window, he looked around to see if there was anything strange there. But he only saw tall buildings and vehicles passing under the office building.
"Ferry!"
Ferry was shocked to hear the call with a high voice, so surprised he dropped the documents he brought. "Huh? Did you call me?"
Chairman Xander of the group glared at Ferry with a menacing look. Ferry shuddered in horror, "Sa-my..."
"Why are you here, Ferry? Don't you have a job?!"
Ferry picked up the documents on the floor he had dropped by accident. "Sa-I came here because I wanted to give this document to you, father,"
"Keep why don't you dredge the door!" Bryan ketus said.
"I've knocked on the door 5 times, but his father didn't hear me!"
The sharp glances pointed again at Ferry as if asking the man to shut up. Ferry felt a tremendous pressure as the man glanced at him. Bryan immediately read the document with focus, he asked Ferry to return to his room.
As he was focusing on examining the document, he suddenly felt his phone vibrate in his pocket for several times.
Dreet... Dreet...
Disturbed by the vibration, Bryan opened his phone. He saw there was an unanswered call from Maura 5 times. "He called me is it just miscall? But why'd he call me?" Bryan moved out of his seat in a panic. "How is this.what should I say? Why'd he call me? Is he mad at me?!" The man paced around in confusion.
Then Bryan's phone shook again, saying there's Little girl Calling.
"Oh! Holy hooch! What am I supposed to do?" Bryan's forehead frowned, he pressed the button while closing his eyes. Then he put his phone to his ear. "Huh-hello.."
[...]
"Why is there no sound?" Bryan wondered why there was no reply from Maura. He looked at his phone and it was written that the call had ended.
"Did little girl close the call?" Bryan fiddled with his phone, then there was a message coming in from little girl.
...'Sir, I'm sorry that I interrupted you and called while you were busy. Forgive me for what happened yesterday, sir!'...
Both of Bryan's eyes widened looking at the message from Maura. "W-what's this? Why is he saying it like I hung up on him? And why is he apologizing to me?"
He checked the call on his phone. "Huh...did I close it?!"
Bryan panicked, and he called Maura back. The connecting tone is still heard, but there is no connected word on the phone.
A few moments later...
...Sorry, the number you called is busy begging--...
"My phone's on reject? ****! Is he mad at me? He's not mad at me, is he?" Bryan panicked because his phone was rejected by Maura. "I have to apologize to him!"
****
Sure enough, Maura did reject Bryan's call. But that's because he's on his way with Nathan to Bryan's office. His heart was not calm because he felt guilty for Bryan, he thought Bryan was to him and he had to apologize in person to Bryan as they met, discussing business matters with Bryan.
In the car, Nathan kept glancing towards Maura while driving his car. "What's wrong?" asked Maura cynically.
"It's okay,"
"Will Nathan ask why me and Evan are still hiring after everything you've done?" Maura crossed her arms around her chest, her gaze pointed sharply at Nathan.
Nathan's eyes were rounded, hinting as if what Maura said to him was indeed true.
"Sir Nathan? Why silence?" Ask Maura again.
"Yes, I did think what kind of thing Bu Maura was thinking." Nathan answered Maura's honest question.
"So, how do you feel? Are you sorry? Feeling guilty to me and dad?"
"Not at all, I neither regret nor feel guilty for what I did to Mr. Maura and Mr. Samuel. All your suffering is not worth my brother's suffering" Nathan smiled, he did not look guilty to Maura or his father.
The woman clenched her hands, then she took the pill in her bag and gulped down the water in the bottle. I don't know what Maura drank.
Maura is upset that Nathan has not regretted his betrayal of Maura, he actually does not like Nathan still working at Agradana company. But Evan who insisted on keeping it, for some reason.
After a journey of about 20 minutes, Maura and Nathan arrive in front of the group's Xander office. Maura held the document in her hand, she stared at the tall building.
"Will Mr. Bryan get angry if I visit him like this all of a sudden?" Maura muttered confusedly.
****
In the prison where Bara was languishing, Vera came to visit Bara. He even brought Bara food, Vera looks anxious to see the battered and disheveled Bara in prison.
"What do you want here? Want to ask me for money? I'm poor now" said Bara cuek.
"I know, but I'm not here for that. I brought you some food, it looks like you're short of food here,"
"Don't say as if you care, just get out of here!"
"Haahh.I know what you expect is not my presence. That's why I came here to give you a solution" Vera thrust an envelope at Bara. He asked Bara to open the envelope.
Bara saw inside there was a photo of Maura and Bryan hugging near the restaurant parking lot. His heart burned to see a picture of his wife with another man. "That bastard! How dare he approach my wife, when I suffer being in here..."
"I just feel sorry for you, Bara. That's why I showed you all this and I have a solution,"
"What do you mean Vera?!"
"You divorced Maura,"
Bara looked at Vera confusedly, what was the intention of her arrival to the prison showing the photo and providing a divorce solution with Maura.
